Been looking at Linux but I can’t pry myself away from openbsd and pf cuz the syntax is so nice.

You got any blog or something about your alpine router?

I should write up something about that as a few people have asked. I'm using nftables for the firewall. I disable IPv6, some may not like that.

My home server has been running alpine for a while now. I'm always delighted with how simple and robust it is. Not that this is probably recommended, but I have a cron script that checks for upgradable packages every night and automatically installs them. It has always been seamless. My family uses this server throughout the day, and the only daytime down-time has been due to power outages. (In some way the reliability is an issue because it enables me being lazy with backup testing).

For a little home-server, I am in love with the KISS-ness of Alpine.
